People called 2006 is the year of Web 2.0, how about putting all the winner together in a poster? What would you say? I say it’s brilliant, a masterpiece! See the poster from eBoy to believe You also can buy it for real if you want to.

Sometime ago, I wrote one page about iWeb Resources; and now, as I turn myself to WP, it’s reasonable to sum up what I’m doing and using. This time is about WP Plugins. When it comes to WordPress, everyone knows that WP Plugins are essential to save you from labor jobs, and also to do incredible things for you in case you are not familiar enough with “the terms” . There are thousand of plugins available for WP, far more than I’m aware of. But the choice, of course, is yours. I did use some of plugins in my site for which I thought are useful. Some should be added in the near future.

Below are the plugins I’m currently using: 10 and counting.

Anarchy Media Player – Author: An-archos. Allows you to play mp3, flv, mov, mp4, m4v, m4a, m4b, 3gp, avi, asf and wmv hypertext links directly on your webpage. Almost everything media-related are there; the lunch is ready

My site previously was developed using iWeb but I found it’s a pain in the a$$ when trying to integrate new features into it since iWeb code is pure HTML-based. So I decided to change my taste, try new things and see how it works out.

There are several choices out there available as free open-sourced if you need a flexible blogging system. I just name a few: WordPress, Joomla!, Movable Type, Blogger, Yahoo 360.

For me, I personally hate Yahoo 360 most but it doesn’t matter here (even I have my own 360 Page – never got updated ); and I finally arrived at WordPress, that’s all it takes to re-master my own weblog.

Installation
The famous 5-min installation of WordPress surprised me, 5 minutes is more than enough providing that your own web hosting already gave you mySQL pre-installed which I think almost all of them did. My Singhost does it . Just blindly follow the instruction, and your own weblog will be up and running without a hitch. What will you have? Nothing! Yeap, I mean it, you have nothing. It’s just a very simple weblog, zero content, basic look-n-feel. The rest will be your jobs.
